Just keeps getting better. And your daughter sings and play very well, God bless her. At 16:20 you mentioned Ryobi and it took me back some years. That's the company that bought Milwaukee Electric Tools, when I worked for them. Jon, you are a man referred to as, "The jack of All trades". You are truly blessed my friend. Awesome country scenery with all kinds of nature resources all around.. God is good. Be blessed and encouraged.

U r a seriously Blessed dad! U and your daughter r very talented. Praise the Lord with musical instruments and praise. Just discovered your videos, the compost toilet got my interest. Hoping u have some detailed simple cabinet making videos that don't require special tools. Love your simple dado technique. I will b doing a school bus build and want to do most of it myself as a 62 year old female. Thanks for sharing.

Thankyou very much Eileen :) You are very kind! Yes! The Lord is good! I have been quite busy for some time this summer with a couple kids getting married and playing with grandkids. I do need to make another video...now that everyone expects them, haha. I am not going to be building any cabinets soon...but there are many simple techniques available --- the best one is to simply cut out pieces of plywood. A simple dado on the doors and you're done.

Jon, another interesting video. Just curious what it would cost to sink a well on Gods end of the state. At 12 gallons, your girls are quick in the shower. LOL Talented family. You have been blessed. For anyone else; The last shower I tiled was a 3' x 6'. I used 4"x4" hexagon ceramic floor (textured) tile. Stuck one to the floor drain with double sided tape (line up opposite sides parallel to the long walls) and then used it to line up all the surrounding pieces. Went from there to the walls. Usually installers start at the wall and end up with a chipped and ugly mess around the drain. Working out from drain makes a nice clean installation around the drain. You have to cut a lot of tiles for the edge where the wall tiles will come down to meet the floor, but is worth the effort.
@grandpasmountain6 жыл бұрын
That's a cool idea to tile the floor, Max. Thankks for the kind words! Yeah......got the girls trained pretty good. The camper we were in only had a 5 gallon water heater! They would try to shower in 3 minutes. Pretty good girls!!

Isn't it necessary to tape all your seams with mesh tape, including the corners, on your Wonderboard before u tile?
@grandpasmountain5 жыл бұрын
No :) I have built several custom showers over the years, and the mortor (thinset) loves to adhere to the wonderboard. I just never locate a seam (grout joint) over a seam in the panels....that would cause a crack.

Are you going to give approx cost of building gothic build compared to traditional? We have some land and we r looking for a cheap way to get living quarters there
@grandpasmountain6 жыл бұрын
Yes, buried in my videos, I do give my costs.... The currently (5-18-2018) nearly complete bungalow is under $7000. What is left is cabinets and a stove. This is about 50% less than a traditional build. Some savings are found in unexpected places, like having no trim, eves and soffits. If one were to go 4' wider and 4' longer, I think you would find it a satisfactory home for 4. Current size is 16x20. The additional footage would allow closets and generally more space. We love our bungalow. It feels remarkably roomy and we were able to heat with a single electric radiator.

I used to build homes, too. It was fun....and a little more challenging to think outside the box and not do the same ol' same ol'. The arches are essentially the wing ribs from the Wright Brother's airplane stood up on end. (I used to build planes). They are very strong. The air flow through here is wonderful, and nice and bright-- something we were worried about with solid walls. Hope to hear how you do on your project!!!! Good luck!

The single handle is Code in the U.S. and the standard. Makes TONS more sense than 2 handles anyway. I don't have to worry about my grandkids getting burned. Water tank is fine. I didn't just leave it out in the sun. No Algae at all after all these months.
